About the host

Hosted by Katie & Alison Stamper

Host profile image
Greenwood Grange is family owned and run with all the lovely personal touches this brings. A beautiful location surrounded by woodland makes this place so special.

Why they chose this property

Having been in corporate ownership for 15 years Greenwood Grange we are delighted to be able to bring back the family friendly ownership of this magical place.

What makes this property unique

The courtyard conversion of historical farm buildings originally constructed by the father of author Thomas Hardy offers 16 individual cottages, each with their own character and charm. The family friendly 6 acre grounds offer so much space to roam and play, we have own cottage garden where guests can pick their own fruit and veg as well as our flock of very friendly hens that provide fresh eggs for guests to enjoy - help with feeding them is also very appreciated!
